has an injector started to leak?

Post by swarf »

hi I've had no problems with the car for 4 months then I started to here what sounds like a steam train coming from the engine, on removing the engine cover what I think is an injector is puffing out some sort of vapour, doesn't smell of diesel and I have no errors have a look a the video and see if anybody knows what it is.

Could be the copper washer which has failed letting cylinder pressure 'chuff' out...

thanks for the reply, the problem was very simple just an injector had become loose, the hardest bit was getting a 7mm allen key Halfords didn't have one but b+q did.
